11 Well, that's another problem we have there. I really like the ffmpeg
12 idea of 'bindist' not doing anything by itself. If all packages did
13 that, I would see no problem with having global meaningful 'bindist'.

15 But if in some cases USE=bindist does something, then I believe ffmpeg
16 should describe that it just 'enforces REQUIRED_USE contraints' with no
17 hidden magic beneath.
